Hello everyone
My 1.5 week old buff orpington chick still eats (medicated chick starter) but will not drink on her own. We have tried to give her sugar water by dropping it on her beak, but she will only drink a little bit this way. Now she is constipated with a string of poop coming out of her vent. I have used a warm towel to dislodge most of it but dont want to pull it out. Ive used vaseline around her vent as well. She is still straining and I'm sure she wont drink while trying to poop. Any suggestions?
